It is common pratice for parents of autistic children to incorporate a special gluten and casein free diet. This is often difficult as children friendly foods such as pasta, cheese, and milk are prohibited. There are however many ways to create menu items that are both nutritious and appealing to children. You can review special gluten and casein free products and see how easy it can be.

Here are what doctors in the “Defeat Autism Now” biomedical movement recommend:

“Doctors in the “Defeat Autism Now!” biomedical movement support special diets for children with autism, including the removal of gluten and casein. The theory behind dietary interventions is that a high percentage of children with autism suffer from chronic gastro-intestinal problems including troubling reactions to foods such as wheat, soy or milk. By eliminating gluten (found in wheat, starches and other grains) and the milk protein casein (found in cheese, butter, milk, yogurt and ice cream), the children feel better and are able to function more normally, advocates of this approach say. Before beginning the diet, doctors following the DAN! program perform blood, urine and stool tests to determine whether the child has any sensitivity to gluten and casein. Advocates recommend following the diet for at least six months to a year, but other autism experts note that there is little evidence supporting the effectiveness of these diets.” reprinted from http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6974956/
